>>21596203this is a great gardening book for cheap, i use it all the time, covers the info you are wondering. i make as much compost as i can and also clean out my chicken coup and my neighbors horse barn but its not enough for how big my gardens are. i sometimes use piss and woodash or sometimes just miracle grow. i have 25 grape vines but they are small and haven't produced many grapes yet and my orchard is 5 yrs old but no fruit. i do have wild blackberries, persimmons, and grapes on my land though. you should grow sweet potatoes they give huge yields for minimal work
